In Part 2 of the lesson on crosspicking, you'll learn the first part of Scott's arrangement of "Home Sweet Home," which mostly uses the traditional 3-3-2 roll. Since crosspicking is usually used to play song melodies, it's a good idea to learn the melody of a song before tackling a crosspicking arrangement, so Scott starts by making sure you know the melody to "Home Sweet Home" and then takes the arrangement apart phrase by phrase (or roll by roll).

Crosspicking, Part 3: “Home Sweet Home” Second Part
 
Once you've become familiar with the 3-3-2 rolls used for most of the first part of "Home Sweet Home," you'll start mixing the rolls up a bit in the second part. Those 3-3-2 rolls work best with the melody on the bottom note of the three-note group and with two other strings on top. But the second part of "Home Sweet Home" starts up on the C note on the B string, so you don't have two strings above it to fill out the roll. Scott shows you a backward roll you can use when the melody is on the top strings, and then uses back-and-forth rolls to continue the melody, which descends C–B–A–G.
